What’s today’s NASDAQ trading plan?

Assistant: Here’s your concise, actionable NASDAQ E-mini / Micro NQ day plan for Mon, Sep 22, 2025.[edit | edit source]

Here’s your concise, actionable NASDAQ (E-mini / Micro NQ) day plan for Mon, Sep 22, 2025.

1) Market Context[edit | edit source]

  • Bias - Daily/Weekly: Uptrend intact after fresh records; momentum cooling. - Intraday (pre-US cash): Neutral → mildly bearish below 24,860–24,880; bullish above. - NQ trading ~24,798, about -0.27% vs Fri settle 24,866.25 (gap-down). Investing.com[2]
  • Macro Events (today) - Light US calendar; SF Fed’s Mary Daly ~4:10pm ET (21:10 BST) on docket. MarketWatch[3] - This week: Tuesday flash PMIs; Friday Core PCE—key drivers for risk and yields. Plus500[4]
  • Tape/News backdrop - Futures softer after last week’s records; headlines include proposed steep H-1B visa fee weighing on mega-cap tech sentiment. Reuters[5]
  • Summary - Expect range-to-pullback early unless buyers reclaim 24,880/24,900. Big figure 25,000 is stretch magnet if momentum reignites.

2) Key Levels (use as S/D zones & liquidity pools)[edit | edit source]

  • Pivots - Prior settle: 24,866.25 - ON range: High 24,876 / Low 24,748.75 → Mid 24,812.50. Investing.com[6]
  • Resistance / Supply - 24,876 (ONH) - 24,888–24,900 (52-wk/ATH zone); stops likely above. Investing.com[7] - 24,950, 25,000 (psychological / measured move)
  • Support / Demand - 24,812–24,820 (ON mid / micro-FVG watch) - 24,780, 24,748–24,750 (ONL) - 24,700, 24,650, 24,600, 24,500 (deeper sweep targets) Investing.com[8]

3) Day Trading Strategy – NASDAQ[edit | edit source]

General: Focus on 5m/15m MSS (market structure shift) + FVGs + liquidity sweeps around ONH/ONL. US cash open 9:30 ET / 14:30 BST.

A) Bullish Scenario[edit | edit source]

  • Trigger 1 (reclaim): 5m close above 24,880 (clear ONH/settle cluster), then retest 24,880–24,890 holds. - Entry: 24,882–24,892 - SL: 24,840 (≈40–50 pts) - TP1: 24,920–24,930 (take partial, move stop BE) - TP2: 24,960 - Stretch: 25,000–25,020 (round-number liquidity)
  • Trigger 2 (Judas sweep long): Early dump through 24,750 (ONL) into 24,730–24,745, swift reclaim >24,780 + 5m MSS up. - Entry: 24,775–24,785 - SL: 24,735 - TP1: 24,860 (prior settle zone) - TP2: 24,900 - Stretch: 24,950–24,975

B) Bearish Scenario[edit | edit source]

  • Trigger 1 (ATH rejection): Sweep/failure in 24,888–24,900 with 5m MSS down. - Entry: 24,885–24,895 (into supply) - SL: 24,925 - TP1: 24,840–24,830 - TP2: 24,780 - Stretch: 24,750 → 24,700/24,650 (liquidity ladder)
  • Trigger 2 (breakdown & retest): 5m close <24,740, then retest 24,740–24,750 fails. - Entry: 24,738–24,748 - SL: 24,785 - TP1: 24,700 - TP2: 24,650 - Stretch: 24,600

C) Range/Scalp Scenario[edit | edit source]

  • If price oscillates 24,750 ↔ 24,880 with decreasing impulse, fade edges: - Buy 24,755–24,765, SL 24,735 → TP 24,820/24,860 - Sell 24,870–24,890, SL 24,915 → TP 24,830/24,800
  • Invalidation: 15m close outside ONH/ONL with acceptance (then switch to trend play).

Contract specs (risk sizing): E-mini NQ = $20/pt; Micro NQ = $2/pt. Investing.com[9]

4) Risk Management[edit | edit source]

  • Max risk: 0.3–0.5% per trade.
  • Scale only at confirmed S/D + MSS/FVG.
  • TP1 → move stop to BE; let runners aim for next liquidity pocket.
  • Max 2–3 trades per session; avoid revenge trades, especially around 15:00–15:30 BST (US morning volatility) and into Daly 21:10 BST remarks. MarketWatch[10]

5) Mindset for Today[edit | edit source]

  • Bias: “Buy dips only after reclaiming 24,880; otherwise respect a pullback toward 24,700s.”
  • Discipline: Wait for 5m confirmation (MSS + FVG) at the levels; don’t chase.
  • Flexibility: If ONL gives way and retests hold below, flip short—don’t fight structure.
  • Control: Size for the gap-down open; headline risk is elevated; manage around speaker risk and week’s PMI/PCE catalysts. Reuters[11]

Live reference: NQZ25 24,748.75–24,876 range; last ~24,798; prior settle 24,866.25; 52-wk/ATH ~24,888. Use these for your chart marks before the open. Investing.com[12]
